Home prices in Belle Chasse
The most active price ranges in 2011 were from $200,000-$400,000, with the $300,000-$400,000 range coming in the winner with the most sales for the year. Prices in Belle Chasse were off 7% from last year, despite the increase in sales, ending the year at an average sale price of $236,754. Most of this drop can be attributed to the increase in foreclosure sales, since they are typically priced below market by the banks that own them. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in seller concessions to make a sale work, whether it is providing a home warranty or assisting the buyer with some of their closing costs.
Overall, the Belle Chasse market is stable and, barring another round of foreclosures, I would anticipate values holding steady this year.
